DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz1842
Abstract: Our first targets in the search for signs of life are orbiting nearby M stars, such as the planets in the Proxima Centauri, Ross-128, LHS-1140, and TRAPPIST-1 systems. Future ground-based discoveries, and those from the… read more here.

Biofluorescence as a survey tool for cryptic marine species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Conservation Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/cobi.13033
Abstract: As ecosystems come under increasing anthropogenic pressure, rare species face the highest risk of extinction. Paradoxically, data necessary to evaluate the conservation status of rare species are often lacking because of the challenges of detecting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.15154
Abstract: Abstract This study is the first known observation of biofluorescence in the lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). Individual lumpfish were illuminated with blue excitation lighting for photography with both hyperspectral and filtered multispectral cameras. All photographed juvenile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0220561
Abstract: Marine environments are visual domains restricted regarding light characteristics. Overall, blue monochromatic spectrum prevails in offshore areas especially below 15m depth, since long wavelengths are quickly attenuated. Light intensity is even more constrained in coastal… read more here.
